Hello,

Taking a step at a time, I fixed building OpenSC.tokend "cleanly"
(without errors and warnings) on 10.7 [1] [2] with clang and also
documented better the fact that Tokend build makes use of "binary"
components from Apple [3].

Regarding 10.8, I've "heard rumors" that OpenSC (or any other PC/SC
based application) does not work with the latest developer preview -
SCardEstablishContext fails and there's no pcscd binary on the system
either.

I don't have the preview nor would I be willing to debug it before the
retail version is available, but this could be taken as a sign, that
most probably 10.8 will be "revolutionary and change everything we
know about computing", at least when it comes to smart cards :)
